VISIONary setting with permaroot

Hello all.
Noob here. Just got my mt4g permarooted but i'm curious what settings I need to run. I had visionary running on boot before rooting. I assumed I needed to turn that off after permaroot but I could not gain root access without it. Anyone mimd helping with the right setup?

Could you provide the steps you took to get rooted or maybe a link to a guide you followed?
If you are permarooted you should have no problems turning off that setting in Visionary.

Everytime I do that, phone freezes after I click attempt permaroot. The screen goes black like it does for temproot but freezes after and nothing else happens.

Anyone?
I think the problem is visionary refusing to permaroot. I'm using r14. Visionary crashes and freezes my phone when I attempt to petmaroot and I have to pull the battery to restart. Any options to visionary? Maybe an older release?
Any help would be appreciated.

Dude, he was asking for HELP, not to be made fun of...
no, back to the question at hand. to root the mytouch 4g, you would need to follow one of the guides to rooting found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866175
that link also has links to all the other things you will need, but Ill provide them here as well for time's sake.
once you do that and have s-off, you will need to flash an alternate recovery to flash a rom. Normally, you would need to install rom manager to do this, then flash clockwork recovery through there, but to install gingerbread, it requires a special version of the recovery which is not officially supported by rom manager yet, so you will need to either install through fastboot (follow the steps provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852905 )
or else follow the instructions provided by TruBlue found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10670110#post10670110
once you have the right recovery installed, youll need to wipe data and caches, and then flash the gingerbread rom of your choice.
As for what apps you will need for all this: ROM Manager, as I mentioned (the premium version if you'd like to take advantage of CM built in nightly build update notifications). Titanium Backup (for backing up all your apps so you dont have to manually redownload them all, and have your app data intact on the new rom), and Root explorer (optional) for a root-enabled file manager.
Any further questions, feel free to send me a PM. Thanks to Tiger013 for compiling the list of everything, grankin for his Root how-to's, and TrueBlueDrew for his how to on install CWM 3x.

dude, after it took me a month(ish) to figure out how to root my own phone (with generous help from mftek), I wouldnt call anyone a noob. do you have google talk? I can try to walk you through the rooting process, and thats generally faster than posting. My username there is the same one I use here.

Yea I do and thanks would be great to get help. Mines the same as my username as well

[Q] Can't root my MyTouch 3g (3.5 mm jack)

Hi there fellas,
I really tried my hardest to follow the posted guides, and i feel like i followed them to a tee, but i'm still getting the "Model ID incorrect!" message in fastboot
Here's my phone:
PVT - 32A
HBOOT - 1.33.0013
CPLD - 13
RADIO - 2.22.28.25
It's running Android 2.2.1
I basically followed Unlockr/DonJuan's guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617
I redid the whole goldcard making process at least 5 times with same results.
Is there something i'm missing?
This is the SD card i'm using:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211270
I'll see if i can get my hands on a different one tomorrow, but besides that is there any other advice you can give me?
Thanks in advance guys
I already tried "Universal Androot", "z4root", and "superoneclick". It's a Perfect SLP so i think that's what's causing all the trouble

Use superoneclick root. Simple and quick

I also already tried "Universal Androot" and "z4root" and both have failed

I tried the superoneclick too, and that failed as well. It's a Perfect SLP so i think that's what causing all this trouble

The spl shouldn't matter. On your phone your only choice is the spl you have. Superoneclick worked for me on that kind of phone.. Do you have the sdk installed?

Sent from my Gingerbread on Sapphire using XDA Premium App

He's on the 2.2.1 update, which means SuperOneClick is probably failing, saying "No space left on device." You can easily manually use the exploit from SuperOneClick to root. If that's not the error your getting, let me know what the error you ARE getting is and we'll work it out.

I'm not sure where exactly it displays the error message, because i don't see one.
It says "All root files have been installed! Would you like to run a test", and once i do that all it says is Test failed! FAILED
I did install the SDK back when i had my G1 so maybe that's messing it up. But i think it should still be in order because i was able to install apps using adb onto my MyTouch

Any luck yet? Did you try restarting the phone after rooting it?
Sent from my Gingerbread on Sapphire using XDA Premium App

Try Universal Androot. You can find out on the forums here somewhere. Way easier.

Can't root

I rooted my MT4G with VISIOnary a while ago, and unrooted it about a week ago with the PD51MG file or something to that wording, because I wanted the gingerbread OTA. I then remembered why I rooted in the first place because the stock OS is glitchy and battery life was terrible. I tried running VISONary again but it just hangs on the rooting screen. Should I try using gfree to root it again or am I SOL?

Did you get the official gb update?

No, I'm still on 2.2.1

I had the same problem. I got it rooted again using VISIONary r14.

You should be able to use the same exact method you used to root it the first time if you are still 2.2.

I tried that, but VISIONary just hangs on the rooting please wait screen.

Click and hold the root option for about 5 sec then release it happen to me even tho it still didn perm root

I used Root.sh

I remember something similar happened to me, I got temp root but perm root didn't stick with that rooting screen problem too, try to use the pd15 thing again and start from scratch or just maybe factory reset it.
Did you make sure fastboot is off? And other settings are correct? it's been so long I don't remember.

im having the same issues. except, on my phone there is no fastboot option. i was rooted. and now im not. using visionart, i get the black scfreen. reset everything (factory) and still no luck. any other suggestions?

Resetting it seemed to do the trick. Thanks

[Q] my Mytouch just wont root!

i tryed everything to root my mytouch 4g i used every visionary i can find still nothing
its 2.2.1 on it

USB debugging is checked?
Visionary gives you temporary root access that does not survive a reboot. You will need to use the gfree method to unlock the bootloader and then run permanent root with Visionary.
What steps have you taken?

Pretty much sums it up. I tried temp rooting then perm rooting with VISIONary+ r14, but it didn't work, so don't try that. ./gfree is the way to go. Very simple, straightforward, and easy!

And how do I use that you got any links that would help

There's no way in the world gfree rooting method is simpler and more straightforward than visionary, root.sh method.
Visionary, root.sh method takes 3 files and one app to root and that's it. Everything can be done from the device. Takes me 5 minutes tops.

You are confused and talking out your ass. First, I was never arguing with anybody. If anybody is arguing, is you. Second, I just gave "MY" opinion about root.sh method being easier and more straightforward than gfree. Why, because some one else stated that gfree is easier and more straightforward. Third, you say I don't read? Go back and read the post I quoted, post I posted and your out the ass post. Then come back and tell me who is the one not reading.

dude lol you need to relax, the guy you quoted didn't say it's easier and simpler, he said that it's very easy and simple facepalm -____-. scroll up again, he said gfree is the way to go because root.sh didn't work for him, and it's similar to op's problem, so he should go with gfree.
I'm in this section because I own this device.
You shouldn't get so worked up over the term aguing, it isn't a bad thing. synonyms would be debating. You're arguing that your opinion on the matter is easier and simpler. I completely agree with that. But you quoted the guy who didn't make any claims comparing gfree or root.sh. amirite? lol
